Biography

(from Gail Kligman, "Mihai Pop", listed below) In 1907, Mihai Pop was born in Glod, a tiny, desolate village in Maramures, today situated eight kilometres from a cement road, the nearest indication that the "modern” world is indeed accessible. It is more difficult to imagine how Pop made his way from this isolated enclave to Bucharest than it is to later discover him travelling from the Romanian capital to the other capitals of Eastern Europe. Travel is a valued tool of the anthropologist. Fortunately, pop's curiosity and insight insured that he continued to travel throughout his life, broadening his own knowledge and contributing to the understanding of the complexities of culture. His first ethnographic experience was in Fundul Moldovii in 1928 when, as a member of D. Gusti's rural sociology group, Pop studied problems of oral literature. It was during this trip that his collaboration with the musicologist C. Brailoiu began. Many field trips ensued. Another important field research occurred in 1939; then Pop worked with the sociologist A. Golopentia in Plasa Dimbovnic, Arges, on socio-economic differentiation among villages. In between these years, pop found time to study in Czechoslovakia where he was exposed to the Prague School of Linguistics. He was particularly influenced by R. Jacobson and P. Bogatyrev, and structural-functional analysis of folklore. The 40s were very significant for him: his doctorate was finished in 1942; in 1949, he and the ethnomusicologist Hari Brauner collaborated to establish the Institute of Ethnography and Folklore in Bucharest. Pop remained director of the Institute from 1950-74. When asked to comment, in retrospect, upon his influence on Romanian anthropology, ethnography, and folklore, Mihai Pop — with a characteristic twinkle in his eye — responded: "Nimica-ca nu ma asculta nimeni." (None — because no one listens to me.)
